K-Contact Distance for Noisy Nonhomogeneous Spatial Point Data with application to Repeating Fast Radio Burst sources

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: A. M. Cook, Dayi Li, Gwendolyn M. Eadie, David C. Stenning, Paul Scholz | Summary: This paper introduces an approach to analyze nonhomogeneous Poisson processes (NHPP) observed with noise, focusing on previously unstudied second-order characteristics of the noisy process. Utilizing a hierarchical Bayesian model with noisy […]

Revealing EMRI/IMRI candidates with quasiperiodic ultrafast outflows

Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Michal Zajaček, Petra Suková, Vladimír Karas, Dheeraj R. Pasham, Francesco Tombesi | Summary: The first detection of the quasiperiodic ultrafast outflow in the ASASSN-20qc system was reported by Pasham et al. (2024). The outflow is revealed in the soft X-ray spectra as an absorption feature, which […]

A systematic search for rapid transients in the Subaru HSC-SSP transient survey

Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | First 5 Authors: Seiji Toshikage, Masaomi Tanaka, Naoki Yasuda, Takashi J. Moriya, Ichiro Takahashi | Summary: Recent high-cadence transient surveys have discovered rapid transients whose light curve timescales are shorter than those of typical supernovae. In this paper, we present a systematic search for rapid transients at medium-high redshifts among […]
